Fero Professional Sable Contour Brush

The Contour Brush is a flat, domed, natural hair brush with a head that is 0.6cm wide and 0.8cm deep and a handle 17cm long, including the ferrule. It is made from pure sable with a flattened silver brass covered ferrule. It is ideal for applying or blending eyeshadow to smaller areas, or using for definition in the socket line.

It is well written by make-up artists all over the world that sable is the best product to work with as the brush holds it's shape better than brushes containing other natural hair, cared for correctly, sable brushes will last many years. Sable hair is used mostly in the manufacture of smaller make-up brushes, where fine work is required, such as eyeshadow, or eye or lipliner brushes. Natural hair has a central structure known as the medulla. The medulla is covered by a thick sheath called the cortex and is layered by cuticle, which is like a shell of scales. The scales and hollows in the cuticle structure are responsible for holding and trapping the powders they pick up and when pressed the powder is released. Sable hair is the best and most preferred make-up brush hair type for use with fine powders as it is able to deliver and apply make-up more effectively.

How to clean your brush

To clean your make-up brush you should immerse only the hair of your brush in brush cleaner and agitate.
If you donít have any brush cleaner then you can apply a mild shampoo to your
fingertips and gently shampoo the hair in the direction it lies. You would then rinse gently under running water, making sure that you keep the brush at a slight angle with the hair tips facing downwards.
Do not let any cleaner or water run inside the ferrule, as it will weaken the glue and causes shedding and wobbly handles. Make sure you keep the brush at a slight angle with the hair tips facing downwards,
then press the brush gently in a towel to dry. Leave the brush to dry flat over the edge of a level surface, i.e. desk, overnight, or hang it up with the tip facing DOWN. The hair part of the brush should not
come into contact with any surface whilst drying.
